10 Best Shiny Pokemon

A shiny Pokemon tends to have shining stars surrounding it, and it often makes a unique sound effect upon being captured. When they were first introduced, a Pokemon being shiny meant that it was more high powered than usual, but that does not appear to be the case in Pokemon Go.

You will never forget your first shiny found in the wild, every single shiny Pokemon in the game is amazing and you should be proud if you have just a single one. Some are much cooler looking through, the shiny Pokemon that appear on this list are handpicked as they look the best.

10 Best Shiny Pokemon

1. Charizard Shiny

Charizard is a well-known Pokemon commonly used to gain access to two Mega forms. The first finally gives it the dragon element that reduces its vulnerability to Rock. The easiest method to get Charizard is the Masuda Method. In this method, you get a higher chance of breeding a shiny Pokémon if the two Pokemon you breed with come from different countries (for X and Y).

Charizard is not a dragon type Pokemon this is because Charizard has weakness of a fire flying type. Charizard looks like a dragon, Charizard is weak to water and rock types. And apparently electric types as well. Moreover, Charizard is strong against fairy types.

2. Metagross Shiny

Metagross is a dual-type Steel/Psychic pseudo-legendary Pokemon introduced in Generation III. It evolves from Metang starting at level 45. It is the final form of Beldum. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Metagross using the Metagrossite.

Tyranitar and Metagross are the only pseudo-legendary Pokemon that do not always have a type of immunity. Salamence and Metagross have the highest base Attack of all non-Mega Evolved pseudo-legendary Pokemon, with level 135. Metagross is vulnerable to Fire, Dark, Ground and Ghost moves. Metagross is a good mid-bulk Psychic gym defender, is a good Steel attacker, can perform OK as a psychic attacker, and that’s all about it

Giratina is a legendary Ghost and Dragon-type Pokemon with a max CP of 3379, 187 attack, 225 defences and 284 stamina in Pokemon GO. It was originally found in the Sinnoh region (Gen 4). Giratina’s (Altered) best moves are Shadow Claw and Dragon Claw.

4. Ho-Oh Shiny

Ho-Oh is a dual-type Fire/Flying legendary Pokemon introduced in Generation II. It is known to evolve into or from any other Pokemon. It is often considered to be closely related to Lugua as a duo, even sometimes as its polar opposite.

Shiny Ho-Oh may have a 100 percent capture rate, but you will still need to defeat it. Ho-Oh is a Fire and Flying-type Pokemon so it has plenty of weaknesses and there are more than enough counters to take with you into battle.

Ho-Oh has the same base capture rate as other legendaries such as Lugia and legendary beasts Raikou, Suicune, and Entei.

5. Trevenant Shiny

Trevenant is a ghost/grass-type Pokemon that looks like a ghost with a tree stump on its head. It was introduced in Generation VI. Normal Trevenant looks good also but the new shiny release is unbeatable.

Gigalith has an awesome name with an intimidating appearance. The shiny version is much better, making the crystals brighter and the colors blend much more smoothly.
